They Don’t CALL Themselves Memes But…
Musings, Online September 18th, 2007They kinda are. :P Here’s a bunch that have accumulated recently.
1. Question Time
I’m probably the 23,482nd person to be doing Amanda’s “ask me a question” meme, but I’m not one for being on time. So yeah, I’m just going to quote her directly, with my modifications:
So, in the interest of allowing my readers to learn more about me as a person, rather than me as a blogger, and because I fear nothing, and show everything…ask me a question. Any question you want, no matter how crude, rude, personal (to an extent), irrelevant. I’ll answer them all in
tomorrow’sthe next entry (and all people who ask a question get plugged).
2. Blog Day Plug Five Blogs You Read Day
As I said, I’m not one for being on time. :P Here’s five blogs that I admire a lot (and read a lot). In no particular order:
- Void Star – Dee likes Batman and comics (amongst other things) and many of her posts are amusing, educational or both. I’ve always found her blog to be awesome in how it’s coded and set out… it’s got all the necessary features of a blog while being kinda also like LJ. Oh and she draws awesome pictures.
- Jing Wen – Amanda’s articulate, funny and is brave enough to post about topics that some might classify as “too much information” (there’s no such thing!). She also almost posts every day. I think we have a winning formula?
- Oxalic – Sabrina uses lots of big words but I don’t think that detracts from her posts, rather it makes her posts more interesting to read. Many of the posts have a hint of dry amusement about them. And she likes Stephen Colbert too, so double yay.
- Infidel – Kudarania plays DDR too! Woot! I find from reading her blogs that we share a surprisingly large number of opinions, like for reviewing and parenting.
- WordFall – I discovered yesterday that Daimira and I have known each other through blogging from about 2002. In fact, she’s one of the people who I felt encouraged to keep blogging back in the days. Though she does most of her general blogging on her LJ (like EVERYBODY I USED TO KNOW -_-), she’s got a new blog that centres around literary stuff. It’s new and looks very promising. I need to read more books.
Honourable mentions: Everyone else on my dailies list… you guys are all on my feed because I like reading your blogs, even if I don’t comment each and every time.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
I’ve also noticed the profusion of memes online.. Well, they’ve long existed, but they’re re-appearing this month on the blogs I visit..
I can’t seem to concoct an interesting enough question to the “Ask A Question” meme. Personal sites, unlike LiveJournals, are more overt in their explanations and therefore arouse less confusion. LJs, on the other hand, can be so ambiguously worded and annoyingly cryptic that the meme is always welcome to clarify details..
If you were given a million dollars, what would you do with it?
How did you envision your future as a child?
The first person who does it isn’t doing a meme. It’s all the people who follow in her footsteps that are. :P
You and Tim seem to have a really close relationship – have you ever talked about making it permanent (e.g. marriage), or even moving in together?
If you could have your picture taken with any living person, with whom would you choose to be photographed?
What kind of law (if any) do you want to practice?
If you weren’t doing law what do you think you would do?
